Book Reviews of God Is a Verb: Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism

Book Review: Connecting with Divinity
Summary: 5 Stars

God is a Verb by Rabbi Cooper is an easy to understand and unique approach to simplifying the Kabbalah. With self honesty we are taken on an imaginative joyride that rejuvenates the spirit and opens portals to the truth within. This is a fascinating read that seeks to nourish and inspire and succeeds on both points. This piece of spiritual literature is an energetic sanctuary that allows the freedom of ones own thoughts
to embrace its direction and purpose. I found it an easy read that simplifies and personalizes the Kabbalah .

God is a Verb is a lush garden which we are gently guided through while being given the opportunity to stop and smell the roses. The beauty and goodness of the kabbalah teaches us to have reverance for the self as well as all that surrounds us. This book is an inspiration for the soul , a vessel of light which educates and inspires.

I highly recommend this refreshing treat. It is a mystical source of insight and imagination , a pathway to esoteric knowledge. Rabbi Cooper should be praised for this clear and vibrant search for truth . It will surely help people connect to their divinty.

Summary of God Is a Verb: Kabbalah and the Practice of Mystical Judaism

Since medieval times, the mystical tradition of Kabbalah was restricted to qualified men over forty—because it was believed that only the most mature and pious could grasp its complexity and profound, life-changing implications. More recently, Kabbalah nearly disappeared—as most of its practitioners perished in the Holocaust. Now this powerful spiritual tradition, after centuries of secrecy and near-extinction, is explained clearly in this book by one of its most prominent teachers.

Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How do we get there? These questions have fueled Kabbalists for nearly a millennium. Rabbi David A. Cooper is the first to bring this obscure and difficult tradition to a mainstream audience in a way that gently leads us to the heart of the subject, showing us how to transform profound teachings into a meaningful personal experience—and appreciate fully this great mystical process we know as God.
